Instructions
 

  • Heat oil (1 tsp).

  • Add fresh beans (80 gm, very finely chopped).
  • Add fresh carrots (80 gm, very finely chopped).
  • Add regular table salt (½ tsp) or according to your taste.
  • Mix and cook well on a high flame for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer it to a plate when done. Keep it aside to cool down.
  • In a separate bowl, grate or mash 2 potatoes of medium size (boiled and peeled).
  • Grate fresh paneer (50 gm). (Pro tip: You may skip paneer if you do not have it at home. However, adding it will enhance the taste).
  • Add the cooked vegetables.
  • Add fresh coriander leaves (¼ cup, very finely chopped).
  • Add garam masala powder (¼ tsp).
  • Add black pepper (¼ tsp, crushed).
  • Add oregano (½ tsp).
  • Add red chili flakes (½ tsp). (Pro tip: If you want the kababs to be less spicy, skip this step).
  • Mash and mix everything nicely.
  • Tear 3 slices of bread into smaller pieces and put them in a mixer grinder.
  • Grind them to make the bread crumb.
  • Add half of the bread crumbs to the mixture.
  • Mix nicely and make a dough. Keep it aside so that it sets properly.
  • Take the remaining bread crumbs on a plate.
  • Make small balls of 100 gm of mozzarella or processed cheese. Keep them on a plate.
  • Take a little mixture in your hand. Press it to make it flat.
  • Put one mozzarella cheese ball in it.
  • Seal it nicely.
  • Press it again to give the final shape to the kabab.
  • Put it on the plate with bread crumbs.
  • Coat it and press it nicely.
  • Repeat steps 27 to 32 to make all the kababs. Keep them aside on a plate.
  • Heat an adequate amount of cooking oil in a kadai on a high flame. (Pro tip: Always fry kababs in hot oil otherwise, they will absorb excess oil).
  • When hot, reduce the flame to medium and release the vegetable kababs one by one very carefully from the side of the kadai. (Pro tip: Do not put too many kababs into the oil at a time. Batch frying will allow easy flipping and perfect frying of the kababs).
  • Flip and fry for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove them on a strainer when golden brown. (Pro tip: You may put them on absorbent paper to drain the excess oil).
  • Your tasty homemade vegetable kababs are now ready.

Notes

I add bread crumbs since it acts as the binding agent.
Make sure that the breadcrumb is dry.
Regulate the flame to maintain a consistent oil temperature.
I recommend refrigerating the coated kababs for proper setting.
Flip the kababs carefully.
